10.7 AMP PAGE 2
The AMP page controls parameters for the amplitude envelope reset, envelope mode, and track routing.
Press
[AMP] twice to access this parameter page.
10.7.1 AENR
Amp envelope reset sets the amp envelope behavior:
ON resets the envelopes for each consecutive trig (default).
OFF does not reset the envelopes for each consecutive trig.
10.7.2 MODE
Envelope mode sets the amplitude envelope to function as either an AHD or an ADSR envelope.
10.7.3 ROUT
Track routing sets if the track’s audio should be routed to the Analog FX block or the Main mix. For more
information, please see “5.4.1 ANALOG FX BLOCK ROUTING” on page 18.
A machine in Syntakt is a full-blown synth engine designed for a specific purpose. A drum-
oriented machine has direct access to a decay parameter for shaping the amplitude, as
this is so central to the character of a drum. Each track also has an additional amp enve-
lope. Selecting a drum-oriented machine will default the amp envelope to an AHD envelope
with infinite decay.
A typical synth machine requires a more complex envelope shape and is more prepared to
be used with a keyboard to control note length etc. Therefore, when selecting one of the
SY machines, the amp envelope will default to an ADSR envelope with a typical setting for
release time.
All Digital machines and most Analog are designed to work well with both an AHD en-
velope and an ADSR envelope. With AHD selected they will perform like a drum with a
defined time before the decay. With ADSR selected they will perform more like a synth
voice with keyboard control over note length and sustain before the release. The voice
then plays until the note is released.
10.8 LFO PAGE 1
The Low-Frequency Oscillator can be used to modulate the parameters found on the audio tracks SYN,
FILTER and AMP pages. Customize the low-frequency oscillator behavior, orientation, and depth on this
page. This page controls the behavior of LFO 1.
